She also made possible all of you. Second is the Gospel because it frees and me gives me strength to do all that I know I should and for reasons less selfish than they would otherwise be. Third is each of you six children because you taught me how to love and continue to give me opportunity to practice. You might be surprised how much we continue to talk and pray about you and your families. Fourth is my own parents because they helped mold the part of me that accepted the Gospel, loved Nancy, and didn't beat my kids. They also showed me the incredible beauty that persists in spite all of the incredible ugliness in the world. In addition, they gave me the genes that seem to have promoted reasonable physical and mental health. All the other "things" and comforts and circumstances and beauties that I'm grateful for seem to stem from some combination of those first four. - Dad
